About Cydalics
Cydalics helps organisations see and control risks that sit outside the reach of traditional IT and cybersecurity tools — in complex communications, radio and satellite signals, connected devices, and AI-powered agentic workflows.
A former CISO and a security-industry veteran — 50+ years across both sides of the security industry.
Why we exist
They run across wireless and radio signals, satellite navigation, connected devices and sites, automated and AI-driven workflows, and a long chain of third-party dependencies. Existing safeguards remain essential — but they were not built to see what's happening in radio signals, agent behaviour, or cross-system data flows.
Wireless & radio signals
Wi-Fi, cellular, Bluetooth, drones, GPS-style satellite navigation.
Connected devices & sites
Sensors, machinery, vehicles, building systems.
Automated & AI-driven workflows
Software agents that act, move data, and decide.
Third-party dependencies
Suppliers, cloud services, external data sources.
That is the gap Cydalics closes.
The team

Principles
On-premises, fully offline, and customer-controlled deployments — so your data, models, agents, and operational context never have to leave your control.
Every engagement produces defensible findings — what was observed, why it matters, what to do. Suitable for boards, auditors, insurers, and regulators.
Founded and built by people who have been on both sides of the security industry — CISO leadership, audit, OT operations, and product engineering.
Privately held. No conflicting interests. The only obligation is to our customers and the integrity of their environments.
